Get Your Hands On Elton John Clothes At The Out The Closet Sale (And Help His AIDS Charity In The Process)

Elton John’s clothes are following their owner out of the closet this weekend to be sold as part of their annual Out The Closet event.

Staged four times previously, the fundraiser sees both Elton John and David Furnish sell off items from their designer wardrobes with all money raised going directly to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Raising a massive £400,000 in 2002, the pop up shop will open tomorrow in Covent Garden, London and will stay open for a week, with items ranging from £10 to £2000.

Labels available in the sale include Prada, Versace, Dior, McQueen, D&G and Jean Paul Gaultier and as well as clothes, there will also be luggage items, sunglasses and other accessories on offer.

The shop will be restocked daily until stock runs out with a clearance sale on any unsold stock occurring on Saturday 19th December. Open to everyone, this event also tends to bring out the A List shoppers including everyone from Elle Macpherson to Elizabeth Hurley and Natalie Imbruglia.

Speaking about the event, Elton John said “Out The Closet has become an amazing fundraising opportunity for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. We always get a fantastic response from the public – I think the idea that the items we all buy and enjoy can help someone in dire need, particularly at this time of year, really strikes a chord. I’m so grateful for everyone’s support in making this happen.”, with his partner, David Furnish adding “The new stock in Out The Closet represents the largest clear out that I have ever had, and it’s exciting to think that my clothes will draw a whole new demographic into our shop. For the first time we have sunglasses in-store and other accessories which will make great Christmas gifts”
